James told him, "200 millions."Ian's lips twitched, and he really wanted to curse right then. That was a lot of money.James then added, "I know it's just pocket change to Light Group."Ian was speechless—the Light Group of the present actually did not have that much money. They had already emptied their coffers for that last 80 million dollar injection!Nonetheless, he could not afford to tell James that he did not have the money for appearance's sake. There would be more trouble if he did, and word of that somehow reached Light Group's board members. "Give me some time."He had an idea—there were several Light Group projects that were still underway, and he could divert the capital from those projects to Eastdawn.He certainly had no intention of giving up halfway on Eastdawn since this was his first project. Moreover, they had an agreement, and the second injection was basically agreed upon.Hence, he began to make the calls to sell off their projects.Fortunately, they

"Sorry." James quickly apologized, and when he looked up to see that it was Irene, he quickly greeted her, "Oh—hello, Mrs. Jefferson." Irene was left confused, since she had no idea who he was. How did he know who she was, even addressing her as 'Mrs. Jefferson'?He seemed older than her, too…"And you are…?""James Cross," he replied. "I've been stationed overseas before this, and just returned to the country."He was an unfamiliar face—in fact, Isaac had asked him to return because not many would recognize him.He had been working at the Remy headquarters in Franconia since its founding, and actually outranked Stan. Naturally, he was superior to Stan in ability as well, or Isaac would not have left him in charge of the Remy headquarters."I was just having a short discussion with Mr. Jefferson, but I will get going now," Remy added, unsure if Irene understood.All Irene knew was that it was business, and that he was just one of Isaac's key helpers whom he was acquainted

Even so, Greg remained composed. "I'm just playing around…""Playing around?" Quincy's face paled further. "Maybe I should play around with other men, too!"Greg glowered. "That's out of line. You just hit me but I did nothing. Did you think you could just slap a man like that?"Quincy dropped to crouch just then, and she began to bawl hysterically.She was out of line? Pain, anguish and spite was overwhelming her—she wanted nothing less than to pick up a knife and shank Greg right then!On the other hand, Greg's patience was already gone.Moreover, Quincy looked horrid when she was in his face, and now that she was sobbing, he watched her while feeling no sympathy, but just cool disgust instead.Having no mood to coax her and knowing that it would not go well anyway, Greg simply let reality sink into her. "Still crying at your age? Aren't you worried Ian would see you like this when he comes home? Also, you don't have to worry—I still want you and this family. I'll be back wh

Ian quickly clapped Quincy on the back to ease her breathing. "Come on, Mom. He's just having a lapse in judgment—he'll come around."However, even if Greg were to break up with that woman right now, Quincy still felt sick to the stomach,She was too prideful for something like this to happen to her.But it had already happened, and there was nothing that she could do about it.Taking deep breaths to calm herself as much as possible, she snapped, "Tell us! Who is that woman?!"She was certainly eager to see whom she had lost to so utterly.Bzzt—While Greg was feeling a little meek just then, his phone started ringing in his pocket.As both Quincy and Ian stared at him, Greg felt annoyed—it was as if he had committed a cardinal sin.He was just having an affair, for goodness' sake!"Is it that big of a deal, when a man of my worth has a woman on the side?" he growled before leaving the room. While Quincy was left at a loss for words, Ian was furious with Greg's behavior as

Ian was weary in spirit. Light Group was a mess, and now his family was too.He felt as humiliated as he was helpless.Nonetheless, he drove Quincy to Greg and Kathy's love nest.Quincy was repressing her rage to stop herself from flipping out again, but she was failing.Greg's mistress had to be Kathy, and he even arranged for her to stay in a luxury apartment!…Meanwhile, Greg took Kathy to the hospital for an ultrasound, which only proved that Kathy was pregnant. Greg was certainly pleased—although he already had Ian, he thought a single child was not enough and he wanted a daughter.However, Quincy protested, stating that she would lose her perfect figure with multiple pregnancies, insisting that one son was enough.Since he was already quite old, he was certainly overjoyed that Kathy had his child. Who else at his age would have an expecting partner?In fact, he felt young once again to have a child, as he rediscovered passion from Kathy. His life before suddenly seeme

Quincy wobbled. "She's pregnant?!"If Greg's affair was already a bolt from the blue, Kathy's pregnancy was a million times worse! Ian, losing all control right then, suddenly punched Greg in the face.Greg grunted dully and dropped to a crouch in pain!Quincy froze for two seconds before quickly moving to stop her son, snapping, "What are you doing?!"They should not come to blows no matter how upset they were! Moreover, Greg was his father. Ian should not have raised his hand against him no matter what happened! Masculine pride was at stake, and she did not want Greg to start despising their son.Pulling Ian away from them in fear that things would escalate further, Quincy told Ian, "Only your grandfather can talk sense into him now."Now, she could finally see that there was no saving Greg now.Even Ian's cheeks were twitching with rage."I'll kill her," he growled.Quincy did not say anything in protest, because she had the same idea.Nonetheless, she pulled him alo

Striding toward James, Ian asked sharply, "Tell me. What is going on here?"James's expression had instantly switched from leisurely to sulking. "Like I said, my component was in the final phase of development, and we just needed this microchip. We would have to divert much of our resources if we want to make that microchip ourselves, so that's not going to happen quickly. That's why I decided to order it from a foreign company, and we even signed an agreement so that they would sell us that patent of microchip. It's basically a monopoly, but I found out today that they're a dummy corporation! The samples they gave us were from another company—I've called the cops, though, so we just might stop them…""Stop them? A foreign company?" Ian breathed through clenched teeth even as he shook with rage. "You paid them millions without doing a background check on them?""I did! But their setup was so elaborate, it fooled even me…""And do you really believe we can get our money back after

In fact, when he saw the news, Ian told himself that it must be some company with the same name announcing its bankruptcy—and not the Eastdawn he invested in! Certainly not after he just signed the new agreement with James last night!He stood in front of his desk as he turned off the news, clutching his chest as he repeated to himself, "Calm down. Calm down. My investment is fine."After doing nothing but standing around for a long while, he finally picked up his phone to call James.No one answered. Losing all composure just then, he headed out of his office to find out what the hell happened.Just as he stepped out of the front door of the Light Group headquarters, he spotted Quincy nearby, rushing toward him."Ian, is it true that Eastdawn is bankrupt?" she asked—she had come after hearing the news too."I'm going there to find out," Ian said. "I'm coming with you," Quincy told him—this was too important. If Eastdawn really was bankrupt, their investment would have be
